Oklahoma kiddo @ 26

As I used to live in SF and voted for DiFi for Mayor, etc., I am curious to know the Senator’s current stand on Iraq and the possible invasion of Iran. Anybody?

Our CA-Roots group met with a member of Feinstein’s SF office staff last April. She had just written her LAT op-ed calling for no nukes in Iran. We asked that she oppose any Iran War. We were told there was a very low probability of a War on Iran, but that the Senator did not think the President’s AUMF included Iran. We felt a little condescended to about our concern that a War on Iran was in the plans.

Our contacts with her SF office have diminished (in my case, to the level of no responses at all) although members of our group are still in sporadic contact with Senator Boxer’s office staffers (who were much nicer and much more receptive to our ideas, views, and visit).

I have just emailed Senators Feinstein and Boxer, asking that they vocally support Senator Kennedy’s legislation. If there is a response, I will be happy to pass it along.

Dear Senator:

I just watched Senator Kennedy’s speech about the Iraq War, and I support his call to cap the number of US troops and to begin to bring our troops home now.

Please be vocal in your support of Senator Kennedy’s proposal — Californians really need to hear from our Senators. We expect you to lead on this issue.

Thank you for your service to California and to the United States of America.

Sincerely yours,

Constituents may email Boxer and Feinstein.

(Sorry to be OfT, TRex….)

Thanks TeddySanFran. (#42 You made it so easy for me to write both Boxer and Feinstein. I was deeply moved by Ted Kennedy, and your links were right there for me. Gracias.

(Have no idea how to write comments here, so hope this goes through – I am such a lurker aka wallflower)

Donald Trump. Good God I dislike this individual.

Ya do realize that he’s a registered dem don’t you?

No, I didn’t realize that. But I don’t like Hillary either, for different reasons of course. Or for that matter, I don’t care for Biden, and several other members of my party, the Democrat Party. Thanks for the Trump info. ;)

There was a class at the University of Illinois that studied Watergate and Deep Throat as a class project (a journalism course, IIRC), trying to nail down his identity. They fingered Fielding as the most likely suspect. Dean had a bet with the prof, which he won, but then he lost a similar bet to Tom Brokaw, who was backing Felt.

Someone whose press pass is in danger, I’m sure.

nicely done egregious, thanks for the keystrokes. And info.

About T.Snow’s interrogator…just WHO is this intrepid ‘April’ reporter?

(whose press pass is in danger) like the Irish reporter who dared to ask Bush follow-up questions when he was being evasive in an interview…

I’ll vote the ‘…not so much’ This is just terribly tragic for so many innocent people.

O’rielly story up on Doucheborough

Scarborough is evolving very fast. I find him a fascinating example of someone who gets it and is changing toward reality.

He still has a ways to go but he is coming along. He was hurt when the guest accused him of Liberal bias.

JS started showing hints of being more realistic about 43 sometime during Katrina.

I still get the feeling that something is being brokered in the backrooms…like allowing the Dems to take the blame for ANY negative consequence that comes out of Iraq.

The anti-escalation folks on those shows should bring up the massive bombings of Fallujah and Mosul…blatant violations of the GC that happened while dealing with “suspected” insurgents….or, the tragedies in Haditha where infants and grandparents were shot to pieces when stressed and threatened troops opened fire on them as “suspected” insurgents…That’s a taste of life in Baghdad under an escalation.
